The Intersex Bill

The Intersex Bill aims to protect the rights of intersex individuals—those born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. It seeks to prevent unnecessary medical procedures on intersex infants and children without their informed consent, ensuring their bodily autonomy and integrity. The bill promotes awareness and understanding, advocating for respectful treatment and legal recognition, and aims to eliminate discrimination based on intersex traits. Overall, it advances human rights by ensuring intersex individuals have control over decisions affecting their bodies and are protected from non-consensual medical interventions.
